Chapter 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 Background of the Study: In today’s context, just the knowledge about business and management theories does not limit into the prescribing books and syllabus by colleges and universities. It is necessary to have the real- time knowledge with theoretical aspects. Getting real-time knowledge with theoretical concept nowadays is about getting practical knowledge entering into the workplace, so that we may not face problems being into the workplace after our university degree. To bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical aspects, internship has been taken as a pool and has become supportive to students also. Internship is the concept where one in course of learning, can put his/her theoretical knowledge into practical aspects. The Internship was carried out at Nepal Investment Bank Ltd. for the partial fulfillment of the Bachelors of Business Administration (BBA) program. The internship is to serve the purpose ofacquainting th e st udents wi th the pr ac ti ce of knowle dge of the disc ip line of ba nking administration. This internship program enables the students to transform the academic knowledge learnt through the years into the practical real world environment where the organizations are facing tough competition with the effect of globalization. The practical approach of internship enables the students to learn what the organizations face in terms of employee diversity, develop interpersonal skills, obtain hands-on experience, the pressures that every organization face, the regulatory environments they have to work in and other variables that are prominent in the real working environment. The intern had the main objective of working in the banking industry and hence internship experience proved to be a nice platform to realize what the needs and the requirements for the jobs are in the banking industry. 1.2 Introduction to Banking Industry Bank is a fina ncia l inst itut ion.

Bank is a financial intermediary between depositors and entrepreneurs.
The intermediation takes place when they accept deposits from general public, corporate bodies
and private organization and deploys that the deposit for profitable purpose in the form of loan
and advances. Bank is a financial service institution. Therefore, in between this intermediation,
bank gets some earning.
Bank is an establishment, which Wales to individuals such as an advances of the money as may
be requested and safety made to and to which individuals entrusts money when and required by
them for use.
“Banks are among one of the most important financial institutions in the economy and essential
business in thousand of local cities. Banks are those financial instituions that after the wide range
of financial services especially credit, saving and payments services and perform the widest range
of financial functions of any business firm in the economy. This multiplicity of bank services and
functions have led to banks being labeled ‘Financial Supermarkets’ and to such familiar
advertising slogans as your bank a full service financial institution.”
1.2.1 Historical Background of Banking System
Thus, the task of the Commercial bank in an under developed countries territory are almost self-
evident. Their purpose is to provide a collection point for saving of a relatively small average
amount from a large number of individual sources. So long as the means to utilize savings safely
and profitably are not available within an economy, funds will either be diverted abroad, sterilized
in useless hoards case are precious metals or more likely still will not accumulate at all.
In our country Nepal, the history of modern Banking system is very new. This becomes explicitwhen one compares Nepalese banking system with the banking system of other countries of the
world. But this does not mean that there was the complete absence of banking activities in Nepal.
Although, the banking in the form of money lending can be traced, bank in the reign of Gun Kam
Dev towards the end of eight century. According to the historical evidence in 423 A.D. Gun Kam
Dev, the king of Kathmandu had borrowed money to rebuild and to rule Kathmandu.

The information required for the preparation of the study report was collected from various
primary and secondary sources. Since not all data collected from secondary sources (as in past
annual reports of NIBL and brochures) can be relied upon for up-to-date and reliable information
both primary, as well as secondary information has been used to prepare this report.
• Primary Source of Information:
The primary information for the report is collected through direct participation of the
intern. The major data collection is done through interview. Where the intern becomes the
interviewer and the bank’s staff or any other personnel to whom the questions are asked
become the interviewee. The questionnaire is prepared before hand for adequacy and to
avoid time loss.
• Secondary Source of Information:
Secondary data i.e. annual reports of the organization for last five years has been
taken into consideration as the main source of data for the purpose of financial
performance analysis. Various publications of Nepal Rastra Bank about banking
and financial statistics and unified directives are also taken for the study. Moreover
informal interactions and structured interviews is also done with different
professionals of accounting and finance in NIBL during the internship period.Various ratios has been calculated for last five years then they are presented by
using respective tables and bar-chart. Interpretation for the findings of each ratios
is also given at last. Also the necessary suggestions have been provided to the
organization so that they know their weakpoints and try to ensure the correction.
1.5 Scope and limitation of Financial Analysis
Scope/Extent of the Study
This report does emphasize the financial position of NIBL.Its scope can be defined as follows:
- Useful to analyze the financial growth trend of NIBL with 5 years.
- Useful to gain knowledge about parameters and techniques regarding ratio analysis.
There are several categories of financial service providers active in formal and informalsectors in Nepal. Apart from the commercial banks, the financial system has outgrown to
include development banks, microfinance development banks, finance companies, nongovernment
micro-credit institutions, and non-government cooperative societies.
Nepalese financial market grew largely after late 90s of 20th century. Banks and financial
institutions have been raised tremendously.Now there are commercial banks, finance
compannies and cooperatives. As all those financial institutions run mainly through deposit
collection from customers and by mobilizing the deposit to provide credit,they all are
competing with each other to make them survive and prospher.
In this scenario, I choose to analyze the financial performance of Nepal Investment Bank Limited
over past 5 years to show its effectivness over the years.
Financial performance analysis of NIBL is done through LEAC analysis which means the analysis
of the degree of liquidity, earning capacity, asset quality and capital adequacy. The analysis of
these four factors is done through the calculation and interpretation of the ratios over last five years
from the respective financial statements to each of the factors.
To analyze liquidity cash reserve ratio (CRR), cash and bank balance to total deposit ratio and
investment in government security to total deposit ratio are calculated. Earning capacity of bank is
measured in terms of price earnings ratio (PE ratio), return on total assets (ROA), return on total
deposit and earning per share ( EPS). Asset quality has been analyzed through the use of
performing loan ratio and loan loss provision to total loan. The degree of capital adequacy has been
measured through capital adequacy ratio and core capital ratio. Analysis of all these ratios has
provided quite clear financial performance of NIBL.
Commercial bank management concept is helpful in preparing the main presentation part
of the project, i.e. LEAC analysis. Moreover the concept of accounting and corporate finance
are equally important for financial ratio and performance analysis.
These two important terms are discussed as follows:
• Financial ratio analysis-
Ratio primarily means the arithemetical relationship between two figures. Ratio is computed
by dividing one item of relation with another. Financial ratio analysis involves a study of the
relationship between income statement and balance sheet accounts, the change in theseratios over a period of time provides the performance of the firm within that time. Also
financial ratios calculated within corresponding years for multiple years such 5 years or 10
years suggest the trend of financial performance over those years.
• Financial performance analysis-
Financial performance analysis refers to an assessment of the viability, stability, and
profitability of a business. Financial analyst often assess the firms performance on the basis
of profitability, solvency, liquidity and stability. Past performance are used to perform the
financial performance analysis and future performance target is set on that basis and then
activities are planned to meet the target.

2.2.1.2 E=Earning
Earning is what considered to be the ultimate goal of commercial bank. Everyone’s focus is
at earning at the year end. Interest on loan, return on income, charges on different service
provided to the customers etc are the major constituent of earning of a bank.
Financial statements are viewed to know about earning of any institution. Retaining a certain
portion of earning every year helps gradually to grow capital fund of the institution.Following ratios are calculated to test earning capacity of NIBL.
•Price earning ratio
